Important note: Never use metal when mixing your clay mask. Use glass, plastic or wooden tools to keep clay’s properties potent and effective.
What Is Bentonite Clay?
Bentonite clay is natural healing clay composed of minerals, and it’s formed from aged natural volcanic ash, which comes from the largest known deposit of bentonite clay located near Fort Benton, Wyoming. It’s also known as Montmorillonite. It’s one of the most useful and powerful healing clays and has an alkalizing effect. It can be used very effectively in skin care recipes or as a mudpack and mud bath. It has a very fine, velveteen touch and is odorless & non-staining.
What Does It Do?
It’s very powerful due to its ability to produce an electric charge when water is added to it. When water is mixed with it, its electrical components change, providing the ability to absorb toxins. Bentonite is acknowledged for properties to absorb and get rid of toxins, heavy metals, impurities, and chemicals from skin.
Bentonite clay quickly swells like an extremely porous sponge when water is mixed with it. It becomes a powerful tool to draw toxins into the sponge through electrical pull and once there, they get bound. On the one hand it removes toxins and chemicals from the skin, and on the other hand, releases minerals for the skin to use. It also draws out excess hydrogen and infuses oxygen into the cells, thereby allowing cells to replace hydrogen with oxygen instead. It can be applied to any area of body, such as face, neck, chest or feet. It can be even applied to your whole body for taking a bentonite clay bath.
